WATCH THIS BIRDIE (4) was a dominant winner last time over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Turf), getting home by 2.5 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. Group 2 placegetter FREE LOOK (12) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. TUFANI (3) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf), scoring by 2.75 lengths. Has been given a let-up of six weeks since that outing. FINANCIAL ADVICE (9) was well held over 1m1/2f in the G3 Mrs. Revere Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Don't underestimate.
